Someone in Vancouver is $15 million richer today

Have you checked in on your Vancouver friends and family, lately? One of them could be worth an extra $15 million today.

The Lotto Max jackpot of $15 million last night was won by a single ticket holder from Vancouver, beating a 1 in 33,294,800 chance.

The winner hasn't revealed themselves yet — if they even know yet, but they have one year or 52 weeks to claim their prize. The winner will be announced when they do.

Lotto Max is the nationwide lottery game drawn Tuesdays and Fridays. 

A Thompson-Okanagan might not have taken this prize, but they've had plenty of luck in recent weeks. Check them out below.
